About Us - Oak

Welcome to Oak Class 2025/26

Oak Class is a mixture of children from Year 5 and Year 6 who learn together first thing in the morning, for English lessons and every afternoon.

In the mornings we start the day with mental maths or quiet reading, followed by a short time of prayer before we split into separate year groups for Maths.

The rest of our morning and our afternoons are spent studying a variety of texts in English and exploring a range of subjects across the wider curriculum.
